The Employment Tribunal in Manchester found that the claimant had been subjected to detriment because of a protected disclosure and awarded her the agreed amount of £6,978.20. The claims for disability discrimination and constructive dismissal were dismissed.

26 Aug 2025 GXO Logistics, Inc. und Wincanton LimitedGXO/Wincanton: supermarket warehouse logistics must be sold after takeover Order
GXO had already acquired Wincanton in April 2024; the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) imposed a hold-separate order, appointed a monitoring trustee and, in Phase 2, found a lessening of competition in dedicated warehousing services for grocery retail. Under the final undertakings, GXO committed to divest Wincanton’s business serving supermarket customers.
Anyone completing a deal before the merger review has concluded bears the risk of having to give up parts of the acquired business again.

11 Apr 2025 Svarog Shipping & Trading Company LimitedTanker shipping company Svarog left OFSI information request unanswered €5,768
In the context of investigations into dealings with a Sovcomflot subsidiary, the fuel shipping company registered in the UK and operating from Cyprus did not respond in time to a formal information request from HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI); a response only came after contact via its auditors. No sanctions breach as such was found, but the information offence was.
Information requests from sanctions authorities need a clear intake channel and deadline monitoring – merely missing the deadline is already an offence.
